Old Ursuline Convent
It’s only fitting that at the location that once housed vampires, stories of Christmas’s most notorious beasts are revealed. Venture to one of NOLA’s most haunted buildings to learn more about the Casket Girls and see why their very existence pairs well with the creatures that appear in the nightmares of naughty children everywhere.
Pere Antoine Alley
It’s not uncommon for a church to be haunted by its former parishioners and leaders. Sometimes, though, their places of worship aren’t enough to keep them contained. Discover the tales of the priest who was both beloved and loathed and wanders the alley named after him. It’s said that his spirit is most active during the holiday season - find out for yourself if that’s true.
Jackson Square
Christmas was darker for some more than others in the 1800s. In New Orleans, it was wretched. For the lucky ones, they received gifts that were actually items of necessity. For the unfortunate, they were executed right here in Jackson Square. Visit the site where death was carried out at the hands of one of the victim’s very own and why the executioner still haunts the area to this day.
